Dd is a quirky child, youngest in year who doesn't have one single friend, rather lots of friends who she hangs out with if she likes the game they're playing. There are three classes which are mixed every year, and dd has always been split from her best friends in that class, and has had to make new friends each year.
The children have had their first meeting at Secondary school and have put in their choices of who they would like to be with next year. They could put three names in order of importance and dd actually put her best friend from babyhood first on the list, who is at a different school currently (I had misgivings but she was adamant!)
Anyway it looks like my dd won't appear on many children's lists as she is always on the periphery of social stuff, although has lots of play dates etc. It turns out that 2 of her least favourite girls at her current school have put her down (mainly because she doesn't have a mean bone in her body) She is beginning to panic that she will be in a class with her friend from the other school (who could potentially have all her previous school classmates as there were only 5 of them) these two girls who she has nothing in common with and no friends from her current school...
I know when she gets there she will make new friends - but she was separated from her infant school friends when she went to juniors and we had the most awful summer holiday and first two terms of juniors where she was thoroughly miserable and panic stricken so I would love to avoid that this time.
My question is, should I leave things to take their course or should I be one of 'those' parents and talk to someone about it. And if so, who? Her current school, who haven't really recognised what a worrier she is, or the new school?????
She hugely lacks confidence until she is completely secure and has a group of friends around her. I would love Secondary to be a positive experience for her 
Thanks and sorry it's an essay!
